semustine and Lung Neoplasms

semustine has been researched along with Lung Neoplasms in 34 studies

Semustine: 4-Methyl derivative of LOMUSTINE; (CCNU). An antineoplastic agent which functions as an alkylating agent.
semustine : An organochlorine compound that is urea in which the two hydrogens on one of the amino groups are replaced by nitroso and 2-chloroethyl groups and one hydrogen from the other amino group is replaced by a 4-methylcyclohexyl group.

Lung Neoplasms: Tumors or cancer of the LUNG.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" The addition of a nitrosourea appears to be an improvement over cyclophosphamide used alone in oat cell carcinoma and over the two drug combination of cyclophosphamide and methotrexate in both adenocarcinoma of the lung and oat cell disease."5.04Nitrosourea combinations in lung cancer. ( Livingston, RB, 1976)
"The therapeutic usefulness of chlorpromazine (CPZ) and caffeine (CAF) in combination with selected nitrosoureas was investigated in mice bearing L1210 leukemia, Lewis lung carcinoma, and B16 melanoma."3.66Therapeutic potentiation of nitrosoureas using chlorpromazine and caffeine in the treatment of murine tumors. ( Dykes, DJ; Laster, WR; Rose, WC; Schabel, FM; Trader, MW, 1978)
" Further, both disease staging and drug dosage have been shown to influence cure rates of combined-modality treatment."2.35Concepts for treatment of micrometastases developed in murine systems. ( Schabel, FM, 1976)
" When the dose of methyl-CCNU was further increased to 40 mg kg-1 toxic death occurred, which was, however, significantly reduced by 'priming' with the low dose given."1.27Priming with low doses of methyl-CCNU reduce the toxicity of high doses of methyl-CCNU and melphalan, and increase the lifespan of mice implanted with Lewis lung carcinoma. ( Livnat, I; Perk, K; Zimber, A, 1988)
"Treatment with Semustine (Methyl-CCNU) resulted in a partial response lasting 15 months."1.26Response of metastatic cloacogenic carcinoma to treatment with semustine. ( Wampler, GL; Zimm, S, 1981)
